Is The Retina Display On Your New MacBook Pro Ghosting Images?

Owners of Apple’s latest and greatest laptop, the MacBook Pro with retina display, say that they’re having issues with image persistence, where screen ghosts are popping up on white backgrounds for as long as five minutes after the image initially appeared.

CNET says that Apple has exchanged a few laptops already, but is this a case of early manufacturing issues, or is it a larger engineering flaw? [Apple via Apple Insider via CNET]

These issues are manufacturing issues. This devices would have been tested in labs for much longer and harder than any user has had the Retina MacBook. Looks like Apple need to keep a closer eye on their quality control.

Me too, I took it into an Apple store with a week left on the warranty and they swapped it over with a re-furb. The techs there all said they'd never seen ghosting like that before so I think it's rare.

It would be super awesome if you could either reply to someone or reply to the post in a constructive or meaningful way. It's actually useful for me to know that this is happening so I know the user, my potential customer, isn't just having buyer's remorse in trying to get a refund on their expensive new toy.
